Does Final Stand keep aggro after taunting all enemies within 15 yards?
Can I taunt an enemy after using Divine Shield and keep aggro?
There’s sometimes issues with Final stand vs higher/lower elevation mobs, specific cases like rashanan in raid also don’t get hit by the taunt aura(although his dungeon version does). But in general if you’re on even ground with enemies it does taunt everything around you. You can bubble into hand of reckoning to tank that single enemy for duration of taunt fixate(3s).

Do however be warned (ifit wasn´t clear already) that in variant 2 (DS followed by HoR), when the 3 sec fixate runs out that mob WILL go and find someone it can actually damage for the next 5 seconds if your DS is still up. Ergo the only people that should be doing that with any regularity are rets taunting tankbusters, but it´s still nice to know in a pinch. 
That said, I´m generally not a fan of speccing into Final Stand in raids because it will inevitably at some point cause a wipe when you DS to remove something and /or mass taunt right after a tank swap 
Bubble into taunt usually is used for prot in raid one specific tank busters since you can just cancel your bubble as soon as fixate expires, but this raid the tank busters that you’d want to bubble taunt for are channels, so just bubbling as soon as the channel starts lets you immune it(Kyveza, Ansurek gorge).

Yeah, I was thinking specifically of this tier, otherwise generally you´ll use DS-HoR-cancelaura as a prot on “traditional” tankbuster-swaps, too, unless you´re saving DS for something specific… still a bit early in the morning for me, thanks for the heads up
Right. In my case I would use it in M+ if healer was about to struggle keeping the team up.
I already have a cancel-Macro, but seems too risky then.
For keys you should always have final stand specced in and just use it as 8s of pure immunity, it’s really powerfull especially since you can use it every other pull(or in some cases early in 1st pull and late in 2nd pull). It has roughly 90s cd because of cdr + % cd reduction talents - Unbreakable spirit(class tree), Uther’s Counsel and Resolute defender(spec tree)

It isn’t really “taunt when you cast bubble”, it’s “keep taunting while bubble is up”. Final Stand is a godlike talent in dungeons.
Hmm that is a completely different answer than what has been posted by others.
Probably some confusion because bubble taunt can refer to both Final Stand and the combo taunt → Divine Shield → immune something → cancel Divine Shield.
So to be clear, Final Stand is a pulsating taunt for as long as Divine Shield is up. Hence yes, it keeps aggro. Some expansions ago it was just that it taunts on casting, and if something was outside the AoE of the initial cast then you pretty much had to cancel the bubble or you wouldn’t be tanking that mob.

With final stand you will keep aggro as long as things stay within the 15 yard range. If you happen to move out of 15 yards of a mob they will go for other players.
